BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention is related to a split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system, and more particularly to one used to drive land, maritime, underwater or aerospace transportation means, or industrial machines and equipment or any other load driven by rotational kinetic energy.

The split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system is comprised of two or more than two separation drive systems allowing independent operation to respectively drive the load, or all loads driven individually are incorporated in a common frame.

In the separation drive system of the dual-power drive system, the first drive system and a second drive system are provided.

By means of the regulation of a control system or by manual operation, the status of transmission between the active rotational power source and the first dynamo-electric unit of the separation serial-parallel hybrid drive system indicates a coupled status; and the active rotational kinetic energy source drives the first dynamo-electric unit to output electric power to further drive the second dynamo-electric unit to operate as a motor to provide functions related to a series hybrid power train; or alternatively, through the control and operation of the clutch, the rotational kinetic energy from the active rotational power source outputs rotational kinetic energy to drive either or both of the loads of the first drive system and the second drive system; or the active rotational power source is incorporated to both of the first and the second dynamo-electric units, and an optional rechargeable device to provide functions related to a parallel hybrid power train. Accordingly, the present invention relates to an innovative dual-power drive system by providing more operation functions.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Traditional transportation means on land, maritime or airborne is usually related to a single acting power train. To meet energy saving and pollution control criteria significant efforts have been devoted to the development of dual-power drive system in recent years. Among these efforts, the development of a power train combining the rotational kinetic energy outputted from engine and that from electricity driven motor has made quite an impressive progress. The hybrid dual-power system of the prior art includes:

-   1. Serial hybrid power drive system: a generator is driven by an     engine to further drive a motor to produce rotational kinetic energy     to drive a load, this system has reported flaws of wild variation in     system efficiency under various loading condition; greater demand on     electrical power capacity, requiring larger installation space,     heavier and higher cost due to that both of the motor and the     generator have to carry all the power consumption. -   2. Rechargeable serial drive system: Under normal loading, an engine     drives a generator to further drive a motor to output rotational     kinetic energy for driving a load. Under light loading condition,     electric energy from the generator is partially flow into a     rechargeable energy storage device for storage. While the engine     stops running, the electrical energy inside storage device will     output to the motor for producing the rotational kinetic energy to     drive the load, this approach brings higher energy efficiency and     less pollution; and under heavy loading, electrical energy from the     engine-driven-generator and from the rechargeable energy storage     device are transferred to the motor which output rotational kinetic     energy for driving the load. -   3. Parallel hybrid power train: Under normal loading, rotational     kinetic energy outputted from an engine directly drive the load;     Under light loading, the motor driven by the engine is switched into     the generator mode for charging the rechargeable device or supply     power to other load, or if the engine stops running, the     rechargeable device drives the motor to output rotational kinetic     energy to drive the load for higher energy efficiency and less     pollution. Under heavy loading, the rotational kinetic energy     outputted from the engine and that from the motor driven by the     rechargeable device jointly drive the load. However, the flaw of the     system is that it requires the installation of a rechargeable device     with sufficient electrical capacity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide to split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system comprised of two or more than two separation drive units to drive their respective loads, or all loads are incorporated into a common frame. An optional clutch is adapted to control transmission or cut-off of the rotational kinetic energy between independent drive units. The system of the present invention executes specific serial hybrid power train or parallel hybrid power train functions by manual control or by a control system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention related to a split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system for the operation of a separation serial hybrid power train or a parallel hybrid power train includes an active rotational power source which frequently implemented by an internal combustion engine; a first drive system comprised of a first dynamo-electric unit essentially functioning as a generator, an optional second dynamo-electric unit, and a clutch; a second drive system comprised of a second dynamo-electric unit essentially functioning as a motor; and a clutch to control the transmission status of the rotational kinetic energy between the first and the second drive systems. When the system is controlled to operate in the mode of a serial hybrid power train, the rotational kinetic energy from the engine drives the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system to operate as a generator and the clutch between the first and the second dynamo-electric units is disengaged. The power output from the first dynamo-electric unit drives the second dynamo-electric units of the first or the second drive system to operate as a motor for providing rotational kinetic energy to drive the load.

Under normal loading, the rotational kinetic energy output from the engine drives only the first drive system through the transmission, or drives only the second drive system through the control by the clutch, or drives the loads of the first and the second drive systems at the same time through the control by the clutch.

Depending on the operation requirement, an optional rechargeable energy storage device may be or may not be installed as part of the split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system. If the rechargeable device is provided, the primary operation functions of the system includes that the power from the rechargeable device drives the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system to operate as a motor, or drives the second dynamo-electric unit in the second drive system to operate as a motor for providing the rotational kinetic energy to drive the load.

Under light loading, the rotational kinetic energy from the engine directly drive the load, the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system with any or all of the second dynamo-electric unit of the first or the second drive system commonly operates as a generator to output power to recharge the rechargeable device or to the other load that consumes electrical power.

Under normal loading, the rotational kinetic energy from the engine drives only the load of first drive system, or drives only the load of second drive system or drives the loads of the first and the second drive systems at the same time.

Under heavy loading, the power from the rechargeable device drives the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system with any or all of the second dynamo-electric unit of the first or the second drive system operates as a motor to jointly drive the load with the power from the engine to provide the operation of the parallel hybrid power train.

The basic system of the present invention includes the active rotational power source, frequently implemented by an internal combustion engine used to produce rotational kinetic energy to directly drive the load or, via the optional controllable clutch, or a transmission unit of multi-speed or continuously variable transmission function, or inverse shift function, or idling function or torque conversion function; while the rotational kinetic energy from the active rotational power source drives the first dynamo-electric unit to operate as a generator to complete the configuration of the first drive system.

Power generated by the first dynamo-electric unit drives the second dynamo-electric unit adapted to the first or the second drive system to operate as a motor for driving the load or providing power to other load that consumes electrical power.

The second dynamo-electric unit of the first drive system is an optionally adapted item which assisting drive the load of first drive system, the necessity of second dynamo-electrical unit installation depends on system requirement.

The second drive system is comprised by second dynamo-electric unit as the power source to drive the load directly or through an optional transmission unit. An optional transmission or a clutch may be installed between the second drive system and the active rotational power source to control the transmit or disengagement of rotational kinetic between the second drive system and the active rotational power sources. An optional transmission unit or clutch may be installed at between a rotational part of the second dynamo-electric unit of the second drive system or a rotational mechanism driven by the second drive system, and a rotational part of the first or the second dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system or the rotational mechanism driven by the first drive system to control whether operation of coupled transmission of the rotational kinetic energy or separation operation without coupled transmission between the first and the second drive systems is required.

Under light loading, the operation of the split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system could be controlled to perform serial or parallel hybrid power transmission. In the parallel transmission mode, the power from the active rotational power source may transmit to the load of first drive system for driving, or disengage from the load of first drive system.

Under the operation of serial hybrid power transmission, the active rotational power source may be regulated to coupled transmission or disengaged from the load driven by the first drive system by demand. In the status of disengaged from coupled transmission, the clutch disposed between the first and the second drive systems is disengaged while the engine as the active rotational power source provides the function of outputting the rotational kinetic energy subject to the control by manual or through a control system to drive the first dynamo-electric unit to operate as a generator, thus to further drive the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive system to operate as a motor to drive the load.

Under normal or a heavy loading, the system could be configured to parallel hybrid power transmission mode, the rotational kinetic energy from the engine to drive either or both loads of the first and the second drive systems. If an optional rechargeable device is installed, it could be incorporated to provide electrical energy to the first dynamo-electrical unit of the first drive system or to the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive system functioning as a motor with the power of engine to jointly drive the load during start-up or acceleration or other heavy loading situation; or directly drive the load under light loading or urban driving mode.

If an engine is implemented as the active rotational power source, the split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system of the present invention essentially provides the following functions:

-   -   The rotational kinetic energy from the engine transmit through         the transmission unit to drive the load of the first drive         system, or to drive the load of second drive system, or the         loads of both systems; and     -   When the system operates under serial hybrid power transmission         mode, the rotational kinetic energy from the engine drives the         load of the first drive system comprised of the transmission         unit, the optional clutch, and the transmission unit with         functions of multi-speed or continuously variable transmission,         inverse, or idling shift, or torque conversion. With the         rotational kinetic energy from the engine, the first         dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system operates as a         generator to drive the second dynamo-electric unit in the first         or the second drive system to operate as a motor to drive the         loads of first or second drive system or other loads demanding         electrical power.

Under light loading, the split serial-parallel hybrid dual-power drive system could be manipulated to provide serial or parallel hybrid power transmission. Under parallel hybrid power transmission mode, the active rotational power source and the load of the first drive system may coupled in transmission state for load driving, or disengaged from the load of first drive system, splitting from the driving power of engine.

When the system operating in serial transmission mode, the clutch between the first and the second drive systems is disengaged, and the active rotational power source may coupled with or disengaged from the load of the first drive system. Meanwhile, the engine serving as the active rotational power source subject to the control by manual or by a control system drives the first dynamo-electric unit to operate as a generator drive the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive system to operate as a motor for driving the load.

When the system operating in the parallel power transmission mode, rotational kinetic energy from the engine drive the load directly or simultaneously drive the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system which operate as a generator to drive the second dynamo-electric units of the first or the second drive system to function as a motor for respectively load driving, or the power generated from the first dynamo-electric unit to drive any other electrical powered load.

If an optional rechargeable device is adapted with the system, the operating functions of the parallel hybrid power transmission include:

-   -   Power supplied from the rechargeable device drives the first         dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system and any or all         the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive         system; or drives any dynamo-electric unit to operate as a motor         for driving the load; or the first or the second dynamo-electric         unit operates as a motor to output the rotational power jointly         drive the load with power from the engine; or     -   Power supplied form the rechargeable device drives the first         dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system and any or all of         the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive         system to operate as the motor for driving the load;     -   Kinetics from the engine drive the first dynamo-electric unit in         the first drive system and any or all of the second         dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive system to         operate as a generator to recharge the rechargeable device or         supply power to other electrical loading;     -   The load inversely drives the dynamo-electric unit in the first         drive system and any or all the second dynamo-electric unit in         the first or the second drive system to operate as a generator         of power regeneration to recharge the rechargeable device or         supply power to other electrical loading;     -   The mechanical damp of the engine functions as a brake drives,         or together with the rechargeable device when provided, the         dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system and any or all         the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive         system to operate as a generator of power regeneration to         recharge the rechargeable device or supply power to other load         that consumes power; and     -   The rechargeable device drives the dynamo-electric unit in the         first drive system and any or all of the second dynamo-electric         unit in the first or the second drive system to operate as an         engine starting motor or to drive other mechanical loading.

Pressurized mixture of air and the fuel, or natural gas or other gases whether in the form of liquid fuel such as gasoline, diesel oil or other fuels including hydrogen currently in development fed to the internal combustion engine is given a brake specific fuel consumption depending on the load torque and rpm. For higher operating efficiency, whether the separation serial-parallel dual-power system operating in the serial or parallel hybrid power transmission mode, fuel saving and pollution reduction could be accomplished by setting the engine operation in optimal rpm range and operating conditions of higher energy efficiency. Both of the rpm range and optimal operation conditions to be set for the engine are maintained by the system operating under serial or parallel hybrid power transmission mode, the engine drives the first dynamo-electric unit to operate as a generator, and drives the second dynamo-electric unit to operate as a motor so to control the engine running within an rpm range of lower fuel consumption with a higher power output to operating inside the optimal brake specific fuel consumption region. When the optional rechargeable device is adapted to the system, the engine drives the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system to operate as a generator to recharge the rechargeable device, or the power from the rechargeable device and that from the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system jointly drive the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive system to operate as a motor to drive the load. The engine is controlled to run within specific range of rpm and operating conditions with higher energy efficiency. That is, when the system operates as a serial or parallel hybrid power transmission modes under light loading, the rotational kinetic energy from the engine drive the first dynamo-electric unit in the first drive system and any or all of the second dynamo-electric unit in the first or the second drive system to operate as a generator for charging the rechargeable device or supply power to other electrical loading.

By providing all or any part of those functions described above, the present invention refined the drawback of lower efficiency and higher pollution of the engine running at lower power output and lower rpm.
